-1 cup water

-4 medium potatoes, diced

-1/2 cup celery, chopped

-1 1/2 cups evaporated whole milk

-1 Tbsp cornstarch

-4 cups whole milk

Drain claims, reserve juice. Mix water, potatoes, celery, salt, and pepper with 1 cup clam juice. Bring to boil, then simmer for 7 minutes. Add milk and 3/4 cup evaporated milk, simmer 5 mins. Remove one cup of the soup and blend it smooth in blender or food processor. Add it back in. Add clams. Mix the rest of the evaporated milk and the cornstarch, add it in and stir constantly until thick.

Makes 12 servings at 6 points each.

Variation to lower points:

Yup, another rainy day. I am so loving this! This clam chowder is easy to make - I love easy :)
